I have placed a textbox in the pageheader section of the report. In the textbox expression, I am trying to use a field . THis is an example of the expression in that textbox.
=First(Fields!ID.Value, "Jobstat")
Howver it gives an err "THE Value expression for textbox referes toa field. Fields cannot be used in page headers or page footers"..Is there any other option that I have? I need this expression/field to be a part of page header, but not table header.
Also, pl note that I have tried to place the field expression in a text box in the body of the report, and then refer to that text box in the page header or footer.However, when I do that, my expression does not appear on any pages of the report, only appears on the last page of the report.
I need some help. I am writing a report in SSRS 2005 that I then need to export to Excel. When I put a report header I would expect the header to not display in the Excel spreadsheet until the Print Preview or the Print. The report footer works just fine I put some text in the footer, and it shows up in the footer. The header though, shows up as a row in the Excel spreadsheet that then causes columns to merge. How do I get the report header to act like a page header?
I am making a book-like report, I am using a report that has a header and calling a sub-report that has it's own header. However the sub-report header is not showing on the parent report. Parent report header is prevailing over the sub-report. Is it possible to have both headers displaying?
There is a one header in the report, when I publish and hit the report in IE(internet explor) the header appears fine on first page when I go to next page this header does not appear.
But in mozilla the header is visible on every page of the report. so it is working fine in mozilla.

I'm doing a local report which requires me to have a data field on page header(company name & address particularly). Since it is not possible to place a data field on page header, what I did was placed the field instead on the body, and then I placed a text box on the page header and then reference the data fields in the body to the textbox.
Everything looks ok, but I found out that when I try to move to another page, all the values on the header will be empty. It seems that it requires that the same data fields should exist in the body of report.
Are there any other workaround here? I just need the values on the page header persist all through out the report. BTW I'm doing a report that contains combination of fields and table, to be specific, I'm creating a resume / bio data.
I'm designing a report and have the requirement that the report title needs to be repeated on each page. However, the report title is dynamic, retrieved from the database, so i cannot place it in the page header (what an annoyance). The solution i first thought of was placing the title in a table, repeating the table header on each page, however the problem i'm encountering is that when i have a subreport in that table, that subreport is in one row
--> if the subreport spans across multiple pages, the header will only be shown on the first page the row where the subreport is actually in...

I need data fields in the page header. The report is multiple pages. I have multiple fields I need in the page header. These fields will change on each page.
I've tried everything I can find suggested on this forum. They all either don't work or work for a while. Then, as is the case today, we get a problem with a report that renders perfectly in the RS browser but when it's output to a PDF, a couple of the page headers become confused.
Why can't Microsoft provide a hack that actually works somewhere (Maybe I just can't find it)? A sticky at the top of the forum?
I'm currently using the answer supplied by NB at AeM here http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=638813&siteid=1&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1 As I said it works very nicely, thanks , except for when it doesn't export properly to a PDF which is an MS issue I presume not the solutions issue.
I really need to be able to make this work before I start throwing my toys from my pram and so my boss doesn't think I'm a complete idiot. I'm sure he doesn't believe me when I say I can't put data in a report header, after all it's only the most basic of reporting functions.
Does anyone know a way to display the header of a sub report when the sub report is part of a main report? Im able to get the main report and the sub report to display properly, but the header of the previously developed/tested sub report will not display when embedded in a main report.
I have a report that grows horizontally as it contains a matrix. In the header section of the report, I have items such as Title and time stamp in text boxes. How can I make these items align in the center if the report grows horizontally, it looks kinda odd with report title not being in the center? Any input will be appreciated.
I have a record in an Excel format (Excel 2010) and I would like to bulk import that into SQL Server 2008 and also while importing, SQL Server will automatically create a new table based on the header fields or row of the source file.
I am not sure if SQL Server 2008 has this capabilities.
I am having a main report having two subreports, say M1,S1 and S2 respectively.
The issue is S2 normally tend to go beyond one page, for all pages except first page of the of the subreport I am getting the page header and footer blank,
Actually this is not loading the ReportItems that are used in main report but it shows text boxes containing strings for eg . "My Name" and date functions eg Today()
Hi, I need to create a report header that will only be shown on the first page. And I want to use the built in header system that is included with report. I can't create a custom header on the body part because I am using multiple columns for report rendering. Currently the header system either displays the header on all pages or it shows in all pages except the first or last page. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Can any one tell me what to use to substitute Table in report Header?Or is there any other way?Because when i am using Textboxes align horizontally as replace to table,to align to my table in the body,when i exported it to excel,ive got problems in alignment in cell,Thanks
How can I create a header that will only appear on the first page? The page header doesn't seem to have an expression area that would accomplish this and globals are not useable in table headers.
I am creating a report which consists of data in two columns. I've set the Body section to have 2 columns in it. This works fine until I start working with the report header. I do not want a page header that shows up on every page, I only want a header on the first page, a report header.
I first tried to hide the header by placing it in the Page Header section, then putting in the "page > 1" expression in the visibility property. This does what I want, except a large blank space is present at the top of my report (the header is about 1.2 "). This is unacceptable.
So my next test was to put the header into the Body section so that it only shows up in the beginning of the report. Because of this, I will need to remove the columns from the Body and make it only 1 column now. I decided to put the multi-column section into a subreport that has 2 columns and add this to the body of my report. But, this failed; the data appears in one column only. I can change the width the ensure it fits and set all other sorts of properties, nothing works.
I've researched both issues and found that these are both "bugs" in reporting services, although I cannot find thedocumented bugs.
Is there any workaround to putting a header onto only the first page of a multi-column report? Other reporting engines are able to handle this with ease, I'm suprised by Reporting Services lack of a "Report Header" section. I am an experienced .NET developer, so if there is a programmatic way through this, I am game.
Hi all, I have a client report in which I have two images in the header portion. I have assigned two different images for the two image report controls.
The Problem is that the report is showing two images in only one system. (I ran the code which is available in SOURCE CONTROL, so the code is not the problem)
In all other systems the first image is getting repeated. The configuration is same and there is no change in HARDWARE.
Have anybody faced the same problem.....................
I want some information stored in the database to be shown on the top of each page in my report. But in the report designer I get an error message if I try to drop a table in the header, and if I try to assign the value of a textbox in the header to e.g. "First(Fields!sometable.Value)", I get a runtime-error in the preview that says "... Fields cannot be used in page headers or footers".
I've built a fairly straight forward report in RS that looks normal in preview mode and in PDF format with out any issues.But when I export it to Excel report header is not appearing in each page.Any ideas as to why this is occurring?thanks in advance,Ramesh KS
I have a matrix report, which looks like the following:
Header C Header D
Column A Column B Column C Column D
Column A and B are Row Group columns in the matrix. Column C and D are the details columns. How can I add column header to column A and B. Seems I cannot do it in Reporting Services 2005.
I have a report with 2 tables (table1 and table2) in the report body. I have txtempname kept in table 1. I access the textbox value in the header using the following expression
=(report!txtempname.value)
This works fine. However when table2 gets populated on of the subsequent pages, the value in the header disappears. It is visible only for the 1st 10 pages where the table 1 data is there.
How to make sure that the value of the header displays for all the pages
After finding out that SSRS doesn't directly support databound items in the header or footer, I found the workaround from Microsoft yesterday at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159677.aspx. The problem is that their solution only works for the first page of the report, so it's basically useless! Because this is an image, it also means the workaround of using a parameter doesn't work, either.
Does anybody have any advice? Is there a solution to this problem?
Is there any thing like Report header in SSRS ? As a work around I am using a Rectangle control in the page header which I make visible if page number is 1 otherwise not visible. But if its invisible only the other items in the header seem to move up while the body height remains unchanged which I do not want. I want the body height to increase if the Report header is absent. Please let me know if I am missing something or if the SSRS has something like Report header already.
I have a report that is being called via stored proc, and i want to group by contract. when report gets generated i get multiple contracts info. but will be grouped/sorted by contract.
please how can i have a group header and also a group footer to show a summary of each contract information with some calculated fields in it.
i may get 100 records related to 10 contracts , 10 rows for each contract.
as soon as the first contract info is shown on the report it has to show a summary related to the first contract in the group footer, and then continue populating the second contract info and so on.
Please i am totally new to reporting and help would be appreciated. thank you all.
Is there anyway to create a Report Header in SQL Reporting Services?
I am guessing "no", but I have to at least try and ask away.
Okay, I have had reports where on the first page they want a report header, and then on the 2nd and the consequent pages they want a page header. This is simple, in the Page Header I put the text box(s) for the Report Header in one Rectangle and then the text box(s) for the Page Header in another Rectangle, stack the Rectangles on to of each other, and set the visibility property of the panels accordingly.
I also see on the table control (which I am using on my report), you can set the table header row(s) to either print on every page or only on the first page.
Neither of these options will work for the report I am trying to build based on a Crystal Report.
I have a page header that needs to appear on every page including the first page. It is about 3/8" tall. And then there is a requested report header that should only appear on the first page. The report header is about 2" tall. So if I try my trick I used before, I will have 2" inches of white space on the 2nd and consequent pages. The Report Header would correctly print on the first page, but the size of the Rectangle (even if the visible property is set to false) will still eat up white space.
Is there anyway around this, or will I need to have the users redesign their report to fit SQL reporting services?
I'm trying to get the following sql to work in a textbox. I have select the textbox properties and it's value is =datename(m,dateadd(m,-1,current_timestamp))
I would like the results of "October"
however I get the following error
The value expression for the textbox €˜textbox1€™ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'datename' is not declared.
I'm pretty new to this so I do not know excatly what that error means.
I'm trying to embed a report into a CRM IFrame. So I have the report created in Business Intelligence Visual Studio 2005, but I need to display it with none of the header details SRS displays by default.
Using the following URL I included rc:toolbar=false and rcarameters=false but they don't seem to make any difference. I basically need to display the report content as if it were part of that page and not an SRS hosted page.
I have a multi-column report with a page header that spans the width of the report. Whenever I close the report and reopen it, the header is changed to the width of the column. This isn't a real big deal because I deploy it with the header across the whole page; but once in a blue moon I accidentally hit the F5 key (which I am used to using for refresh in other environments I work in) and the report gets redeployed with the messed up header. Is there anyway to stop RS from automatically adjusting the page header?
And is there anyway to disable the F5 key from deploying the reports. I do use it to build and run windows apps, and don't want to change that, but I don't want to deploy 80+ reports when I accidentially hit it.
I have 2 tables in a report and have set the FixedHeader property of the 3 left columns on both tables to True. The report displays perfectly when previewing, but when deployed and viewed in IE6 fixes only the columns from the first table (all columns from 2nd table display, but the 3 columns with FixedHeader set to true scroll out of view when report is scrolled right) and additionally displays an error.
Error: Line: 13 Char: 1080 Error: 'children.0.children.0.children.1.children' is null or not an object Code: 0 URL : <URL of report displayed here>
Possible additional points of interest. 1)There are some groupings in the second table which are initially hidden and toggled by cells in the 1st or 2nd column of the table.These 2 columns are the first 2 of the 3 columns having FixedHeader set to True. 2)If the 1st table is moved physically to below the 2nd table, FixedHeader fails on both tables.
Is there something that I've set up incorrectly? Any help is appreciated.
